Continuing Education Webinar Series
|
To be certified and maintain certification every year as a Virginia Master Naturalist, volunteers are required to complete 8 hours of continuing education. To assist volunteers needing to meet this requirement, the state program offers continuing education through our annual statewide conference and an online webinar series. To attend a webinar, please click on the "Join Webinar" button below 5 to 10 minutes before the webinar begins. You can also access previous webinars by streaming a recording online, following the links provided at the bottom of the page.
In addition to these monthly CE webinars, we currently are also offering an ongoing, irregularly scheduled High Five From Nature webinar series. |
